It won't be open for a couple more weeks, but when it does, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge is sure to be a hit, and the hits will keep on coming. Country music stars are expected to frequent the bar.

"Folks come to Panama City to do concerts, and where do you think they're going to go have a beer at? They're gonna be stopping by Tootsies, so it's going to be the same principles apply here as do in Nashville. You just never know who might drop in or who you'll see on stage," said John Stone, a country music singer.

Singer Darryl Worley is a strong supporter of the original Tootsie’s in Nashville. Whether or not you like country music, he says Tootsie’s will be a great place to visit.

"No matter what genre of music you come from if you've got the real stuff, the real authentic stuff, people are going to be intrigued by it," said Darryl Worley, a country music singer.

Tootsie's owners think the club is going to fit in well with the rest of the Pier Park development.

"What would make us the most happy is to look at all these owners around here and one day they look and say this tootsies orchid lounge is the greatest thing that ever happened to my business," said Al Ross, the owner.

The grand opening celebration will be Memorial Day weekend, and you won't want to miss it.

"We're going to send invitations to every country music artist we know, and we're going to see who shows up ‘cause you never know who you're going to see out at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge," said Steve Smith, the owner.

Besides Worley and Stone, Smith says Tootsie's has extended grand opening invitations to Montgomery Gentry, Hank Williams, Jr., Kid Rock, Brett Michaels, Willie Nelson and Terri Clark. We'll have to wait and see who shows up.
